I doubt it. insmod and modprobe do pretty much the same thing, except that modprobe has some magic added. If you run "insmod ./smsc47m1.ko", then a subsequent "modprobe smsc47m1" is a no-op: modprobe sees that the module is already loaded and does nothing. If you want to load the driver at boot time, you have 2 options: 1* Use insmod, with the full path to the new module file. 2* Copy the new module file over the old one in /lib/modules, and then you can call modprobe. Maybe you did 2* last time, and don't remember the step where you copied the module file around. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
